I had never heard. Thanks for the info!

Correct.  And was the AD at Letcher County Central for a good stretch!

Larry Gritton and Larry Allen Gritton at OBI.

Mike Reitz was 0-0 while at Pendleton.

He surely didn't get fired for his record.

This might be a near miss but I'm sure somebody here can clear it up:

"Gentleman" Jim Connor (Newport Central Catholic, Boone County: 431 wins). Also Thomas More College: 133 wins.

His son: Terry Connor (Thomas More College: 58 wins).

Did Terry Connor ever coach high school ball? I'm thinking he was not a head high school basketball coach, but what about as an assistant? Can't imagine him getting a college head-coaching job without first being a coach of any kind at the prep level, but it's possible. It goes without saying that Terry Connor has been a pretty good athletic director at TMC.

Nope, he saw greener pastures. I believe that was 2005 when Pendleton won the region.

Terry was an assistant at Dixie under Donnie McFarland.  Not sure if he was head coach or not when Donnie left.

Dave Fraley, who coached Powell County, Pulaski County and Knott County Central to regional titles and won the state championship when he was with the Maroons. His son John has been head coach at Pulaski County for several years and presently has a 17-2 record.

Shannon Fraley runs Pulaski Middle School program as well.

Danny Bates coached at the old Letcher High in the 70’s and 80’s and his son Danny Jr at Whitesburg who went 30-6 during the 2001-02 season when he won the 14th region. 
Charles Duncil coached at Lee County in the 80’s and his son Brent also coached at Lee County for one year in 2000-01. 
Bob Creech coached several years at Wolfe County and his son Robert “Bull” Creech is currently coaching at Wolfe County as well. 
John Quillen coached Hazard for one season in 1970-71 and his son John Michael Quillen also coached at Hazard from 1991-1994. 
Mike Jones coached at Cawood, Jackson County, Todd County, Harlan Independent, Clay County and Harlan County also I think. His son Michael also coached at Harlan County and it may be another one of his sons coaching Harlan County now as well. 
Steve Butcher coached a few years at the old Mullins H.S. in Pike County and I think he had a son who coached the girls team at Pike County Central and possibly Mason County. 
Wendell Wallen Sr. coached at Meade Memorial and Johnson Central and his son Wendell Jr. coached at Allen Central and Pikeville. 
I think there were three Deaton brothers from Breathitt County that served as head coaches; Granville at Cawood and Wolfe County, Carl at Green County and J.P. Deaton was the girls coach at Breathitt County after serving as Fairce Woods assistant coach for several years. Carl’s son Mike Deaton has also been a head coach at a few schools Caverna, Corbin, etc. 

 

An interesting situation I forgot to mention was a husband Keith Young coaching the boys team for several years at Adair County and he was replaced by his wife Juanita who coached the Adair County boys for one season. There are numerous father/son coaching families but that is the only husband/wife coaching family I’m aware of. 

**Mike Reitz also coached at Maysville High School. 
 

Robin Kelsch (Augusta, boys and girls) -brother

Patrick Kelsch (Bracken County girls, Robertson County boys and girls, current Pendleton County girls) - brother 

Tanner Kelsch - (current Augusta girls assistant) Robin’s son

Big Happy Osborne Williamstown among other places. Little Happy Osborne Montgomery County.

It's girls' basketball, but high school legend Jaime Richey coaches at Highlands. Her husband, the multi-talented Bert Richey, coached at Grant County for a few years until 2009, I believe.
